Closest Hotel to the Falls with Great Views
Review From: NexTag Editorial Review, Jun 9, 2008
The Oakes Hotel Overlooking the Falls has the unique distinction of being the closest hotel to Niagara Falls. Located in the Fallsview District on the crest of the Niagara Escarpment, the Oakes is able to offer panoramic views of the falls not seen from any other hotel. The location is also on the same block as a variety of restaurants and shops and a casino. The 21-story hotel features 312 guest rooms and suites with queen-size beds, ironing boards, and satellite TV. The rooms are not first-rate and don't include refrigerators but guests come here for the view, not the amenities. An indoor pool, whirlpool, and sauna are available for guest relaxation. The hotel's Applebee's Bar and Grill provides convenience though not always good service. Overall, if your main objective is the Niagara Falls view and not amenities, then the Oakes Hotel Overlooking the Falls is an ideal choice.

False Advertising
Review From: Caprict@aol.com, Jun 9, 2008  | See All Reviews
I recently stayed at The Oakes Hotel in Niagra Falls. I was not happy with room. We had paper cups for drinks and coffee. the maid didnt really make the bed, when i pulled the bedspread down i could see she didnt make the bed after all the sheets were as i left them. She only pulled the bedspread up and tucked the pillows in.. Then at check out i was quoted a much higher price. when i asked the man at the desk said if i pay cash it was a lower price. i stated that i was not informed at time of booking that i needed to pay cash and that there was a higher price for credit card. he said he could not help me i would have to talk to the person who made the reservations,,, i got no where , i will never stay at the Oakes again and i hope no one else does either,,, I have stayed at the Hilton, Marriott and the Renisaince and never had that problem at niagra falls. there were 2 other couples at the desk with complaints also so this must be a big problem.

Major Complaint on The Oakes Hotel
Review From: K.C. Laws, Jun 9, 2008
I was very impressed by the view that we had from our room & the staff at checked in were very pleasant. I have a major complaint about The Oakes Hotel and that being the housekeeping service at this hotel was atrocious. When we arrived in our room, the appearance of the room, other that the fact that the cups left for coffee had hair inside them, seemed fine. The next morning after housekeeping came, we noticed the following: -hair once again in the coffee cups (and less cups were left) -no plastic cups for ice drinks left -ice bucket was not cleaned and no bag was left for new ice -coffee pot was left dirty.(I had placed the carafe beside unit & slightly pulled out the filter basket to show her it needed cleaning) -only 1 packet with the coffeemate was left & 1 only 1 Decaff Coffee (I drink regular coffee) -no new rolls of toilet paper were left we almost ran out (and no kleenex) -mold was in our bathroom shower (I find this totally unacceptable) -we had pulled up the blanket on the bed & so she/he from housekeeping just pulled the bedspread up and tucked in the pillows. We didn't realize until we went to get in that the sheets were still the way we left them. I was excited about the weekend and was left with a bad feeling come departure time. I e-mailed the hotel to let them know of what they're housecleaning staff was up to however they obviously don't put too much into customer service as I still haven't heard back from them.Because of that feeling, I would not stay at The Oakes Hotel again, and I certainly would not recommend the hotel to anyone. Next time I'll stay at a more reputable hotel.
